Self-aligning fence for radial arm saw

摘要

A radial arm saw has a vertical rotational axis which is displaceable from the plane of the work fence through predetermined distances. A mechanism is provided through which the work fence will be automatically shifted on a linear path in response to angular rotation of the radial arm saw about its vertical axis of rotation through a distance proportional to the degree of angular rotation. The mechanism includes a carriage and linear slide arrangement for the work fence and a proportional cam actuator for the carriage on a turntable of the radial arm saw.
